Publisher Description
John Lithgow sings one of his most popular songs, "I Got Two Dogs," in this e-book edition.
The clever rhyming text tells of the narrator's two dogs who could not be more different—one is big, one is small, one barks quietly, while one has a loud and enthusiastic bark—but he loves them both the same. The bold graphic art style adds humor by revealing that the narrator's view of the dogs isn't exactly the way others might see them.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lithgow's (I'm a Manatee) singing tribute to a couple of canine ne'er-do-wells named Fanny and Blue strives for the kind of goofy, bouncy simplicity of Burl Ives's classic Little White Duck album. But as line upon line reiterates the dogs' gangly, insistent charms, song and text grow a little too familiar even when Lithgow gooses the lyrics by turning words into howls ("They're not too smart,/ But they're loyal and true ooo ooo ooo ooo"). Neubecker (Wow! City!) fares much better: his boldly inked, maniacal cartoons capture the full measure of four-legged joie de vivre and remind readers why it's hard to stay mad at dogs for long even when they rearrange sock drawers or share the joys of mud with startled bystanders. Ages 2 6.
Customer Reviews
I got two dogs
I just love this book and Lithgow's singing!!! It's very catchy and the kids laugh and sing along with it. Thanks for fixing the bug. Now I can see the full pages.
Book layout is awful!
I've tried to show this book to my kids but the book doesn't view properly! I tried to uninstall the book and see if that would work. I love John Lithgow's books but iBooks needs to fix this issue!!! Don't get this book right now until they fix it!
